પછી તે જ દિવસે ઈશ્વરના ભક્તે ચિહ્ન આપીને કહ્યું, “ઈશ્વરે જે ચિહ્ન આપીને કહ્યું છે: ‘જુઓ, આ વેદી તૂટી જશે અને તેના પરની રાખ ફેલાઈ જશે.”

In context

1Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the LORD’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

2He cried against the altar by the LORD’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! The LORD says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”

3He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”

4When the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.

5The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the LORD’s word.
